THE PRESIDENTS ST. LOUIS TRIP.
Reasons Why He Will Not Be the Guest of
the Grand Army of the Republic.

st. Louis Special.
1t looks very much now as if there would be
row over the reception to be given President
Cleveland here next fall. In presenting the citi
zens' invitation to the President last week the
chairman of the delegation, Mayor Francis,
stated that the invitation was intended as a sup
plement to the Invitation alre ady extended by
the Grand Army of the Republic. The commit
tee desired the President to visit the city during
the G. A R. encampment, and they would con-
slider an acceptance of the g. A. r. invitation an
acceptance of the citizens invitation. The COM
mittee represented both political parties and
included members Of the g. A. R., and every
thing supposed to be satisfactory until to-
day, when it leaked out that some prominent
members of the G. A r. here did not want to re-
ceive the President their guest, and that
letter was received some time ago from the grand
commander. Governor Fairchid of Wisconsin.
reprimanding the executive committee of the en-
campment for inviting the President 1t was
hoped that he would not accept, and his delay
in sending formal reply in writing to the lnvi-
tation is now taken as a non-acceptance.
Gen. D. Grier, chairman of the executive com
mittee, said In an interview that the g. A r.
executive committee will have all it can attend
to without preparing for tho reception and en-
tertainment of the President The Grand Army
OF the Republic sent him an invitation to visit
the city, but they had never received any sort of
reply to it. Il understand" he said, that there
was letter received in the city from his secre-
tary STATING That ne would at some later date &C
cept decline the invitation, but we have no
official knowledge of that reply. It was never
seen by the executive committee. Now the
President has accepted invitation extended
him by Mayor Francis on behalf of twenty
thousand citizens of St Louis. He has not ac-
copied the invitation of the executive committee
of the Grand Army of the Republic, and in
view of these facts think it would be presump-
tuous the part of the Grand Army of the Re-
public to step in and say: The President IS our
guest We will receive and entertain him."
President Cleveland will be given a most en-
thusiastic reception in st. Louis. but it is by no
means certain that the Grand Army of the Re-
public will take any part in it.
